New iMacs on the cheap
Digitimes has reported that Apple is planning to introduce magnesium alloy cases for desktop iMacs in the first quarter of next year. They also claim that the computer company will start to add a huge amount of plastic parts into some iMac's to save on cost.
[blockquote]Apple uses a stainless steel and zinc alloy to manufacture its current generation of New iMacs, the sources said.
The sources said Apple was forced to modify its strategy as sales of the New iMac desktops have been lackluster due to higher prices.
Apple has sold just over one million New iMacs since the first model hit the market in January 2002. However, the company sold over three millions units of its first-generation iMac in three years, said the sources.
